Scenario 9.2
Calendar "R" Us Ltd. is a small firm that manufactures yearly calendars with a specific focus on middle and high schools in Alberta. They started operations back in 2006 with just 12 employees, two machines, and a small warehouse that served as an office and production and storage facilities. Today, Calendar "R" Us has roughly 60 employees and supplies its calendars to most middle and high schools in Alberta. When employees join they are paid based on their relationship with the owners.
